Hey guys,

I got two very small dings (about the size of a quarter and hardly noticeable) on my G from some D-bag at the grocery store about 6 weeks ago. They're small and hardly noticeable to me, but still I can't leave Genevieve all dented she deserves better!!

So, I was wondering if anyone had ever used dry ice as a method to super cool the metal, in this case the ding, causing the metal to contract and pop back into original form? In theory it SHOULD work, but has anyone ever seen/done this?

Thanks! I'll post a picture of another small fix i need when I get my camera after work...

 

I"ve done it before, it worked.

 

saweeeeet!! :] awesome, i'll do it when i go visit my parents this weekend then!

thanks for the quick response!!

 

Doesn't the sheet metal need to be hot in order for the dry ice to work?

 

Ohhhh so you're saying the sudden change in temp from hot to super cool might be whats needed? i can see how that would work on the atomic level at least, and that might be whats needed....

 

videos ive seen on youtube all required heating it up with a blow drier then cooling it very quickly

 

sounds really cool actually

 

We did it with a can of compressed air upside down on my roommates car. Worked well

 

cool cool; ill give it a spin this weekend and let everyone know for sure how it goes!!

 

Doesn't crack or flake the paint I hope ?

 

interesting. keep us updated! damn assh*les in the parking lots...

 

Yea, compressed air is easier than dry ice in my opinion

Here's a nice video/tutorial for you

RevolutionG you are the man GOOD glad to know it'll work!! I have to replace the clear plastic sticker that guards the rear wheels as well this weekend; and 9600baud you nailed it; i hate parking lots!! >:[

 

ahh it was compressed air i remember now, i tried it once on a dent on my old car but i couldnt get it to work. who knows maybe i didnt get it warm enough or something... \

good luck

 

id be a little worried spraying that on my paint...
